Alternately, in the larger healthcare sector, there is a reported increase in demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Payroll Responsibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first steps recommended by ADP is to review a practice\u2019s employee handbook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your practice friends itself having to reduce hours, wages, or staff, be sure to refresh yourself with your practice\u2019s employee handbook. As you go through these changes due to the COVID-19 health event, be sure to provide statements to employee(s) notifying them of the occurrence and that they may be eligible for benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the statement, clearly convey the following information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for the reduction is the COVID-19 global health event<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effective date of action<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of reduction (in hours or pay)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Length of reduction (temporary \/ permanent \/ undetermined)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Date of hire (if available) and last date physically worked<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guidance that the employee should notify the unemployment agency of the facts listed above<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Employers are required to respond in a timely manner to all unemployment claims and requests for information received by your organization.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unemployment benefits<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though individual state law dictates an employee&#8217;s eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits, the federal government, through guidance (Unemployment Insurance Program Letter 10-20) and legislation (Emergency Unemployment Insurance Stabilization and Access Act of 2020), is making an effort to provide states with greater flexibility to make as many individuals affected by COVID-19 as eligible as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the state you are located in ordered your business to close, depending on the state, the length of the closure, and the employee&#8217;s work history, employees who are prevented from coming to work because their employer temporarily ceases operations due to COVID-19 may be eligible for unemployment benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">States have issued guidance addressing this issue and many are suspending waiting periods for such benefits. Check your state law, communicate with your employees regarding their eligibility for unemployment benefits, and provide any required notice and information accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees may also be eligible for unemployment benefits if they are asked to stay home\u00a0 because they are thought to be at risk of spreading or contracting COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practices that are temporarily reducing employees&#8217; hours as a result of COVID-19, may have their employees eligible for unemployment benefits. Some states require advance notice of any reduction in pay. Absent a specific notice requirement, employers should provide as much notice as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business closures, leave and alternatives to keeping staff<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to scheduling and hour reduction, be sure to keep in mind that some states and local jurisdictions have enacted predictive scheduling laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These laws generally require employers to follow certain scheduling practices, including providing a certain amount of advance notice before making changes to employees&#8217; schedules. Be sure to check to see if you are subject to such a law. Some jurisdictions, including <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oregon<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, are providing guidance on these laws considering COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternately, if a practice asks their back-office staff to telecommute, for example, some states require employers to reimburse employees for any reasonable business expenses they incur, such as internet access from a home office. Absent such a requirement, expense reimbursement may be necessary to satisfy the FLSA minimum wage and overtime requirements for non-exempt employees. In most cases, under the FLSA, any work-related expense incurred by an employee that would bring their pay below the minimum wage (or cut into overtime pay) must be reimbursed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of your requirements, it&#8217;s a best practice to reimburse all employees for any reasonable business expenses. Where the expense may be used for work and personal use (such as having an internet connection), consider a system to help employees monitor and record how much of the cost is related to conducting business activities, and reimburse employees at least that amount. Again, make sure you also have policies and controls in place to ensure that employees use a secure connection to the Internet, protect company and client data, and comply with privacy laws when working remotely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Return to Work Checklist<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADP has provided its clients with a helpful return to work checklist as practices think about re-opening. Some new regulations may impact how re-opening occurs, so best to consult with local and state governments to ensure adherence to those guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Review official guidance<\/b><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read and make sure you understand applicable federal, state, and local orders, directives, and guidelines, including information from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/SLTC\/covid-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OSHA <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Independently assess your situation<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even where employers are permitted to allow employees back into the workplace, employers should independently assess whether it is safe to do so.
